A new paper is to be started In
Grant parish, at Ada post Office, In
q few weeks, with our Greenback-
Independent friend G. H. Harvill,
Esq, as editor and business man
ager. We understand that it is to
be run in the interest of McEnery.
and that about half of the eight or
ten McEnery men in Grant parish
are interested in the enterprise. It
is limited that they hope, by the
aid of the Independent element
and few Republicans, to carry
this parish for themselves, as well
as to assist the present administra-
ton by the effort. We wish friend
Harvill financial success, but hope
and predict that his political efforts
will be a signal failure in Grant
parish.

the fact that it always cures and never

eases quickly cured. You can test it
before buying by getting trial bottle

O OPTION.

At q meeting of the temperance people OF
Higginsville, on the evening of June Both, fol
the purpose Of taking into consideration the
question Of local option, a committee of five
were appointed 20 prepare and publish ar
address to the people of Lafayette county
The object of the address is to awaken ar
interest in the matter and to lead to such
action as will result in br inglng it to a vote
OF the people. as to whether or not the selling
of intoxicating liquors. including wine and
beer, shall be continued in the county. The
following is the report of the committee
To the People of Lafayette County, Ass-
souri:-
In order to avail ourselves of the advant-
ages offered under the statutes of Missouri
for lessening the evils of intemperance by
local option, we earnestly request that ali
citizens of the county who are In favor of
law and order, a refined state Of society and
elevation of the human family to q higher
state OF manhood and womanhood, are re-
quested to NEE: in their respective townships
at the usual voting places, on Saturday, the
10th day of July, 1887. at 2 o'clock p. M,
and select i've delegates to meet In Lexing-
ton. at the courthouse, on Thursday, the 2lst
day OF July, 1887, at 10 O'Clock a. M, to de-
wise ways and means for submitting the
question of local option to the people of the
county. The object Of the county mass
meeting will he to prepare for q thorough
canvassing OF the county and so to improve
public sentiment on the subject of ~fntoxica-
ting liquors as to demand that the evil shall
be stopped by a vote of the people. The
Welfare OF society and the enlightened pro-
gress OF our age call for q reform that shall
set aside a traffic so hurtful to the peace and
prosperity of our homes, and which would
be to the generations to come a blot upon our
record as a civilized people. Let every
right-thinking man and woman act In this
matter with that promptness and energy
which Its Importance demands. There can
be no neutral ground. A number of our
fellow citizens in Lafayette county are engage
ed in the selling Of Intoxicating liquors, a
business which, in its results, tends IN every
1mpoverish those who are victims to strong
drink. 1t has not one cOmmendable feature
TO Insure II favor among enlightened and
Ugh t-thinking people. Hhe sentiment of
every man who is truly a lover of his fellow
countryman and who desires the good of his
neighbor, is directly opposed to 1t.
Measures must be taken either to induce
these to desist from their hurtful business or
to compel by a vote of the people that the
saloons OF the county will be closed by law.
We urge the people to think well upon this
matter and TO act promptly in having as
large a meeting in Lexington as can he held.
Other counties are taking such measures,
snd we can not afford to be behind in a work
which addresses itself to the conscience of
every good man. WIN. G. NEALE,
